Environmental Organic Chemistry

3 Units

This is an advanced course focusing on examination of processes that effect the behavior and fate of anthropogenic organic contaminants in aquatic environments. The lectures will focus on intermolecular interactions and thermodynamic principles governing the kinetics of some of the important chemical and physicochemical transformation reactions of organic contaminants. Recommended Preparation: One year of college chemistry. Prereq or Coreq: CHEM 111 and ECIV 268 or Requisites Not Met permission.
